WINNERS: THE NATURALS

This was a good formula tag match. Chase Stevens took most of the heat from Team Canada, Andy Douglas got a hot tag and they retained the belts. Jimmy Hart coming in at the end was a genuinely great surprise at the time, I remember liking The Naturals when I was first introduced to TNA.– [**¼] match but personally 3/10

Jimmy Hart walks his new team back up the ramp as Team Canada slam the mat, Tenay mentions Petey Williams' nosebleed and they're treating it like death. Lockdown 2005 has been voted the 3^rd biggest moment in TNA history for being the first all steel cage pay-per-view.
